An apparatus and method for controlling driving of a linear motor, which is configured to increase efficiency of a linear compressor and stably drive the linear motor when the linear motor is overloaded. The apparatus includes a detector that detects a current applied to a motor, a controller that outputs a control signal based on the detected current and a switch that varies the number of windings of the linear motor coil on the basis of the control signal.

Apparatus and method for controlling driving of linear motor

In a reciprocating compressor including a first frame for supporting a cylinder of a compressing unit, a second frame for supporting a side of an outer stator of a motor unit and a third frame for supporting the other side of the outer stator and an inner stator of the motor unit, wherein the motor unit is arranged between the second and third frames, they are combined with each other, and the assembly is combined with the first frame. Accordingly, a reciprocating compressor is capable of reducing a fabrication cost by eliminating precise processing of construction parts and simplifying an assembly process by constructing a reciprocating motor as one assembly and combining it with a compressing unit.
